Commentary on Tafsir al-Jalalayn: ((They said)) among themselves, ((Build for him a structure)) and fill it with firewood and set it ablaze with fire, and when it blazes up, ((then cast him into the blazing fire))

The author says: "Build for him a structure and fill it with firewood and set it ablaze with fire, and when it blazes up, then cast him into the blazing fire, the intense fire" His statement This verse contains a concise expression where the interpreter supplied the omitted meaning. The intended meaning is: fill it with firewood and set it ablaze with fire, then cast him into the blazing fire. The use of the conjunction "fa" (then) after his statement and the omission of what lies between them indicates that they intended great haste in this matter, as if they said, "Build a structure and cast him in directly." Of course, it is not about igniting the structure just to enjoy it, but rather, after igniting the fire within it, they intended this haste and promptness. It is as if they omitted the mention of what lies between the building and the casting because of the speed of their promptness. Also indicating this is his statement The "fa" here indicates sequence and immediate succession. He said, "

and throw him into the burning fire."

فألقوه في الجحيم

[As-Saffat 37:97]

meaning in the intense fire" So did Muhammad? Good, they did that and cast him into the fire, but the Creator of the fire said to the fire, and it became cool and a peace for them. It was not intensely cold to the point of killing him, nor was it hot, but it was the opposite of what the enemies intended. They intended the fire to be hot and destructive, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) intended it to be cool and safe. and it became cool and a peace for him. Here we pause to clarify that some interpreters (may Allah have mercy on them) said that at that moment, all fires in all parts of the world became cool. But this is a very weak opinion that contradicts the Qur'an, because Allah the Exalted said in the Qur'an, and this address is directed to the specific target of the address. For this reason, grammarians call it a "definite indefinite" (nukrat maqsurah). The intended meaning is that specific fire only, so the fire that was targeted became cool and a peace. As for the claim that all fires in all parts of the world became cool, this is undoubtedly contrary to the apparent meaning of the Qur'an and has no benefit whatsoever. Good.
